Beating Summer Boredom

While Allison decorated sugar cookies with neon colored frosting,

I decided to make neon colored paint for everyone else!

The colors turned out bright and fun!

After experimenting,

the kids decided to write Daddy a message!

Here is the simple, cheap recipe, so you can try this activity with your own children.

Sidewalk Paint
1/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup cold water
7-8 drops of food coloring
For best results, be sure to mix the corn starch in COLD water first and then stir in the food coloring.

I bought a "no-spill paint cup and brush set" from Rainbow Resource several years ago, and these paint cups and brushes have served us well for many projects. The paint brushes you see the kids using in the pictures came from this set.
